    dry v. wet

    Because wet food is 75% moisture cats digest it better and feel fuller quicker which is good for their weight. Thinner cats are healthier then over weight cats. Also wet food helps maintain urinary health. Wet food contains less carbohydrates which contribute to crystals in the urinary tract. My...

    Help! Early Wake Up Call

    I have a similar problem with one of my four cats. I come home from work at 5 am, so I feed them at that time. If I don't all four of them walk on me as I try to go to sleep. Anyways...Alonzo wonders through the house meowing looking for attention. Believe me he is not deprived of...

    Bored Kitty

    I have a 4 year old male cat named Alonzo. He' really cuddly and lovable, but when he gets bored he usually causes trouble. About 4 am every morning when everyone is sleeping including my other 3 cats he starts meowing a very sad meow. It goes on for quite some time. He wonders around the house...

    Why do my kittens lick my hands?

    I have a calico that loves to sit on my lap and lick my hands. She is very passionate about it when she's doing it. It's almost like she's playing mama and grooming me. It's so cute. I have a male long hair that will lick my chin 3 times, and then bite it. That just smarts!

    Wet food discovery

    With soft food the litter box will contain less because soft food is 75% moisture. Less poop more urine. Sorry I have to disagree with the hard food controlling tarter. But yes I agree soft food is better for over all health.

    Wal-Mart Maxximum brand cat food

    My old vet used to push expensive cat food. My new vet does not. I feed them friskies soft and cat chow hard. They go to the vet regularly and are very healthy. Two of four are 13 years old. I don't think expensive is better but that's my opinion. PS I love my cats ALOT and if I thought...

    I just don't get it!

    I would never leave food down all day for my cats or they would never stop eating. As for your slimmer cat my vet says slimmer is healthier. I worry about one of my 4 cats not being heavy enough. My vet says he is the perfect weight. My husband laughs at me because I worry so much about my cats.

    Wet food discovery

    My opinion but I think cats need both, hard and canned foods. Canned food to control their weight and for a healthy urinary tract. Male cats especially can form crystals in their urinary tract from dry food. If left untreated can eventually kill them. I think some dry food is needed for the...

    My 13 year old kitten

    Just want to say thank you for all your replies. Sam is feeling much better and pretty much back to normal. I was really worried about him!

    Food aggression

    I had to laugh when you mentioned your neighbors. I have a 3 year old cat that will not eat unless I put her bowl on the table. A habit I started when she was a baby so the other 3 cats would not steal her food. I worry that cat hair may get in anything I cook although I try to keep a clean...

    Greetings

    Sounds like my home. I have 4 cats. My youngest was found on the side of the road. The next youngest was abandoned by his owner who moved away. It's good that your cats found a happy home and someone that cares about them.

    My 13 year old kitten

    I have a 13 year old cat named Sam. He still finds ways to climb on high things such as the garage roof or patio roof. He has always acted like a kitten until about a week ago. While on my lap one day as I touched his lower back he yelled in pain. My husband took him to the vet and the vet found...
